In Response To: Re: September 2011 REACH Population Report (DEEP NNN) : It makes me wonder what MS marketing people are thinking. : 1. Perhaps MS was expecting this all along? : 2. Maybe MS is actually happy it's doing as well as it is? : 3. Putting most of the eggs into the Anniversary and Halo 4 baskets was the : best choice? : 4. Do they even care? : 5. Calling Frankie in to 'discuss' the situation? : 6. Should have listened to those dedicated Fans about DLC? : In my opinion, REACH needed the Anniversary maps or some other DLC four : months ago. : I am of the opinion this list indicates none of the AAA FPS titles are ruling : the day. It appears Gears of War 3 stole population from all of the top : FPS titles. : LIVE Activity for week of September 19th : Xbox 360 Top LIVE Titles (based on UU’s) : Call of Duty: Black Ops : Gears of War 3 : Modern Warfare 2 : Halo: Reach : FIFA Soccer 11 : Madden NFL 12 : Dead Island : FIFA 12 Demo : GTA IV : Battlefield: Bad Co. 2 : Gears of War 2 : Call of Duty 4 : NHL12 : Halo 3 : NBA 2K11 : NCAA Football 12 : Fallout: New Vegas : Forza Motorsport 3 : Red Dead Redemption : Call of Duty: WaW Judging by, and looking at the efforts at Halo Fest, my money is on 1-3, they care as a marketing machine, Halo is their own franchise vs an exclusive one (ala Gears). DLC does matter but I think the transition to 343i meant 'Bungie' would 'ship' X number of DLCs, even though we know they've farmed stuff out. I think its a situation where getting content for HCEA and Halo 4, the transition and the TU they didnt have the manpower to manage another DLC in between and opted to put efforts behind HCEA maps knowing at some point they'll release them for REACH. My guess is Feb, if I had a guess. It keeps HCEA exclusive through the holidays, gets people to buy it and play it, but it will also fracture the community. I would have liked to see a way that HCEA multiplayer maps could get downloaded by REACH and a special HCEA hopper that REACH and HCEA players both feed into.. maybe thats the plan, I dont know.
